Features: Body language is the external manifestation of a person's inner emotions. It makes spoken language more vivid and dynamic through silent body language such as eye contact, facial muscle movements, and gestures, achieving an effect that captures attention before words and leaves a lasting impression. Moreover, the information it conveys is quite significant. Psychologist Albert Mehrabian proposed a formula: Total communication effectiveness = 7% of words + 38% of tone and speed + 55% of facial expressions and body language. Body language plays a crucial role in interpersonal communication. There are many mediums and channels for interpersonal communication, which can be broadly categorized into verbal and non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication refers to the process of exchanging information without using spoken or silent language symbols. In interpersonal communication, body language, as a silent non-verbal symbol, plays a vital role and is sometimes even more important than verbal communication. Body language communication includes various forms such as eye contact, facial expressions, posture, and interpersonal spatial distance. Eye contact can convey a lot of information, help synchronize the psychological states of the interacting parties, express emotions, and serve as a means of prompting, warning, or monitoring. The face is the primary area for emotional communication. From the subtle expressions of facial features, one can discern the hidden emotions of the interaction partner, such as trust, suspicion, excitement, or hesitation, which may be intentionally concealed in words. Posture is the use of body movements and positions to express different messages and inner emotional states. For example, nodding, shaking the head, shrugging, waving the hands, raising the eyebrows, or pouting. People's body language movements often unconsciously reveal their true feelings, providing more information about the interaction. However, when interpreting the information conveyed by body language movements, one must consider differences in cultural background, education level, and other factors.
